The Mid-Columbia Libraries want to challenge both kids and
adults to not let their minds take a holiday this Winter Break. As
part of the 2nd Annual Winter Reading Challenge, local
kids are playfully pitted against their parents and other adults to
see who can read the most. The competition runs from December
13th through January 15th. It's a great way
to keep your kids' minds engaged as the holidays approach. By
signing up either at a library or online you can take part in this
fun event. As an added bonus, kids who read at least 6 hours during
the competition can pick up a prize at their local library. Adults
who finish are entered into a raffle for a grand prize. Not only
does this promote a friendly competition between children and their
legal guardians, it's a great way to help instill a love of reading
within your family for now and for years to come. Be sure to catch
local singer and songwriter Eric Herman-checkout some of his songs
on You Tube-to celebrate the start of the Winter Reading Challenge.
Visit the Mid-Columbia Libraries' web site to sign up and find out
when Eric is scheduled to visit the library closest to you.
